Bank Investments An old scam known as the Prime Bank investment
has been raising its ugly head on the net. This scam involves the fraudster offering
a prime bank investment with risk free annual returns of more than 20%. These
investments are purportedly guaranteed by the world leading banks - prime banks.
Once invested, the fraudster disappears with the investor's money. This scam
comes under different names: secured trading programs, high-yield investments,
prime bank notes and standby letters of credit. In all cases the investor is told
that the investment is guaranteed by a prime bank. There is always an air of
secrecy about them such that no one knows about them. These schemes tout that
they are usually only available to the "elites". If you come across one of
these prime bank investments, think twice about investing in it. Call your broker
to determine whether the investment is legitimate. If it is not legitimate call
you local securities commission in your country and submit a Complaint in your local agency or bureau.
